Craft is Art

I know I was a little absent last week and I do apologize for that. The weather has been making my allergies almost intolerable. I have been on lots of Benadryl and such, the only things strong enough to make much of a fight against the allergies are the ones the make me drowsy and useless also. Any who, no weekly update today, but it will be out tomorrow!

For now though, I am really getting stuck in this filet crochet, but in a good way. In warning these pictures are of the red yarn, which photographs horribly. I will try to get some better pictures tomorrow in daylight before I head out to work.


Here is the first try, it wasn't not going to be the correct height though, so ripped back to the open mesh and crocheted a few more of those rows.



Here is the finished square. I love how it turned out. So much so that I am going to do a couple more filet crochet squares, I have some cotton that I think would work nicely.





I was thinking of doing a series of the same image in different yarn fibers and thicknesses, kind of like an artist does a series, but not sure.
